This morning we awoke at 7:30am and got layered up for the day. We had our favourite ¥350 breakfast of toast, soup and coffee at the hostel to prepare us for the walking ahead. After breakfast Shannon led the way via train to a man made island known as Odaiba where we spent the majority of the day at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. There were some cool exhibits including the robot Asimo and also the seal robot Paro. There was also some e...

Today we flew to Tokyo!! We were up before the sun at 4:30am where we had time to quickly get dressed before kissing the pusses goodbye and bustling into the taxi. We were on a tiny 48 person plane from TSV to CNS and then after a fairly long and boring stopover in CNS we got on the plane. Eight hours later and we touched down in Tokyo! A smooth exit out of the airport and onto the express skyliner train, we made our way to our home town for the next 10 days, I...

Today was the last day of our stay in Japan. We got up at around 8am and finished stuffing our bags before having our last breakfast of soup, toast and tea at the hostel. We had decided to move our bags to Tokyo station first thing in the morning and then spend the rest of the day re-visiting Shinjuku and Shibuya. Luckily it was a Saturday so the trains weren't as crowded as during the week and we were able to take our bags to Tokyo station without too much hass...

Last full day in Tokyo and Japan so we tried to make the most of it. We finally got up early (6am) enough to make it to the Tsukiji Fish Market. It's the biggest wholesale fish market in the world and there is a crazy amount of fish that comes in and out from all over the world everyday. I went and checked it out last time I was in Japan but Shannon hadn't seen it so I wanted to treat him. We got to the market at around 7:30am and I think we may have missed the...

Well, this morning we had planned to get up early and go to the fish market but we must've been more tired than we thought because we both slept through the 6am alarm. Instead we were up at 8am and after breakfast took the train to Harajuku. Shannon had an appointment booked to get a tattoo done at 12pm so we strolled around the streets of Harajuku for a while until it was time to head to the tattoo parlour. We bought Oreo a really sweet collar that you can alte...
